I just recently purchased the Sony Bravia 46EX500 LCD television and when it comes to HD Cable and playing games on the PS3 it looks great, but Blu-ray does not look as good as I expected. The colors seem to be a little washed out and some scenes seem to contain a mild grainy look. I use my PS3 as my Blu-ray player and have it connected to my television with the Monster M2000 HDMI Cable, best one on the market, so I am confused as to why its not displaying as sharp as it should. I am currently using the Standard Picture mode on the Bravia with the Ambient Sensor activated. Anyone have any advice on how to improve the picture quality with Blu-ray movies?

What resolution are you sending the BR content in over HDMI to your TV from your PS3?. I don't think cables have anything to do with your problem since with HDMi if your are recieiving the image without pixelation or dropped frames then cable quality is certainly not an issue.
BR film disks are encoded in 1080p24 fps format and depending on the motion compensation settings your have seleted on your TV and the resolution of conten your are sending to the TV, and the PQ settings on your TV for the HDMI conection number your are using for the BR player.

Hey Nick, Try Turning off your ambient sensor and shifting your tv out of standard and into vivid. Since Your Tv And Playstation are Sony Products and all games get passed by Sony their could be your connection as to why the video games look so much better on your sony tv. try playing with your back light as well as contrast leves while you watch movies. not all movies use the same levels ie. horror (dark) vs animation (bright)! there is no easy button for your EX500. though through practive you can switch levels to suit your needs.
